## Interference

Liam discusses what he thinks should be done in racing with regards to interference in races. This includes why he thought so many made a big thing about it this week.

## Pacemakers

> Whatever happened to running pacemakers in these group races? Rare to see them nowadays? I always used to enjoy watching them tear off and ensure a good pace. Not so much now?

Liam discusses why he doesn’t like the idea of pacemakers in races BUT if they were encouraged, how it should be managed.

## Jockey Cams

Liam discusses what he likes about them, how useful they could be and how they need to be a tool and not a gimmick.
